termination of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway

Term ID

GO:0038032

Synonyms

• termination of G-protein coupled receptor signaling pathway
• termination of G-protein coupled receptor signalling pathway
• termination of GPCR signaling pathway

Definition

The signaling process in which G protein-coupled receptor signaling is brought to an end. For example, through the action of GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) that act to accelerate hydrolysis of GTP to GDP on G-alpha proteins, thereby terminating the transduced signal.
